Poem -

the thing chosen

Sitting     On an old tree
it takes all my weight
groans just to be

the thing chosen
My hand on its bark
no need of words
We are silence and dark

Down in the valleys
the old year dies loud
Some bells find us high above
jovial crowds

a new year flies in
The old year flies out
we are silence and dark
my hand on its bark

It bears up my weight
We groan just to be 
my hand finds rough bark
as the fireworks see

In New Year.

M

Hello M...

​​​​​​May this year Save more lives...

Save the Children?

Hostages and all the Victims RIP who died under their promoted hands...

No more part of their Killing Fields?

Breathe until they come back around?

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

​​​​​​Some aren't going to be here at the end of the next 365 Days...

Hope there's more Days than Body Counts?

HAPPY NEW YEAR my friend!

🙋🎉

Dear Marion, you and the tree. I can only imagine the conversation 
going on. Nature is, indeed, a great consolation. When people’s words (like mine now) are useless, nature is the place to be. 
“”A new year flies in
the old year flies out
we are silence and dark
my hands on its bark.”’Oh, this is a beautiful piece of poetry. Only you 
my friend. A huge hug,   B
